Dark

darkness

no way out

No walls around me

no ground

help      I'm falling

drowning

A tiny light in front of me

the flicker of a candle

I watch the flame dance

I reach out, tentatively

and it is gone

I am again in darkness

empty, lonely darkness

that brief flicker all I will ever see.

Teasing me,

showing me what I can never have.

So hard to believe that I once saw that glimpse

Perhaps it was only my mind,

imagining things.

There is only dark.  Empty.  Lonely.  Safe.
